This is a pre-owned 925. sterling silver (~20g) vintage brooch/pin from Mignon Faget. This brooch (called Holoch”) from her 1988 jewelry collection called “Zea”, and has since been retired. This is a hard to find piece. (*See below for more details about her inspiration for this collection!) The piece is signed “Mignon Faget” and is marked “Sterling” (SEE PHOTOS). It is in excellent pre-owned, vintage condition—showing some slight age related patina and is in need of a good cleaning. The pin and clasp work as designed. Please review the photos and feel free to ask questions. ~~~~~~~~~ From the Mignon Faget website blog.mignonfaget.com/mignonsjournal * In Zea, Mignon celebrates the physical characteristics of corn, the grain of the new world. Mignon designed Zea using Mayan nomenclature for names in this large body of work latent with strong ritualistic overtones, focusing on the plant’s individual kernel and its textural husk, or “holoch” in the Mayan language.”
